Ever tried setting up your router table with a steel rule? I’ve done it tonnes of times, and it is a compromise situation. If you have a split fence, it is a right pain even finding the fence zero point with a basic steel rule. If the fence is solid, you still have to ensure [...]

Other than the additions to the shed’s tool collection, I’ve added another couple of mementos to the shed of the trip to Denver. I found a small US flag in one of the souvenir shops, which serves as a bit of colour/reminder for me of the trip over and although it is the first country [...]

Today was it – the reason for 28000km of travel and over 52 or so hours door to door. It was the big shoot day. We started pretty early – a bit earlier than first planned so I could get a little more time into the preparation. Had a Macca breakfast on the way. Even [...]

A busy afternoon, doing the first part of why I am over here – putting the Torque Workcentre together, ready for tomorrow’s shoot. Met up with one of the Associate Producers from Cool Tools – Darin Foat. Cool guy. Headed first to Bunnings, I mean Home Depot (could hardly tell the difference on the inside [...]
